Heffy is on a distinguished road
A severe case of INFLUENCE-AH

I have this buddy that for the mostpart is just a big drinker but recently he has been working with one of his old friends who decideds that its a good idea for them to "play in the snow" evey time he gets wasted. Now, usually my buddy isnt down for this shit, or when he does do it, it is in moderation. But now that he is working with this guy and partying with him more often, he is doing it almost every weekend. I have tried talking to the influential party but he is a dumbass and wont admit he has a problem. I dont really know what to do, but I think that next time im around the he tries to get people to pick up shay (no doubt b/c he is one of those ppl that doesnt like doing shit himself cuz then he has to face the fact he's a fucking addict) I think im going to lump him the fuck out.

Voice your concerns for sure.
"lumping" someone the fuck out isnt a solution in the slightest.
But realize, if there is a possibility of addiction there, the person has to want to change, help themself and move on to a less destructive life style, before he/she will be honestly willing to clean up.

edit:

As for your friend, again. Voice concerns. Addictive personalities can be mighty dangerous things.
IMHO, once you have told someone how you feel about substance addiction, I believe that they are on their own to clean up. It may not be the smartest method, but its like tough love. Not suggesting that you should cut them out of your life or not being supportive when they do need a friend... Just not supporting the habits. (IE. don't drink/party with them. ect)
